Posted on: December 7, 2020 Apply Now
Research/Fellowship Expires March 3, 2021

The Gulf Research Program’s Science Policy Fellowship programhelps scientists hone their skills by putting them to practice for the benefit of Gulf Coast communities and ecosystems. Fellows gain first-hand experience at the interface of science and policy as they spend one year on the staff of federal, state, local, or non-governmental environmental, natural resource, oil and gas, or public health agency in the Gulf of Mexico region. With the guidance of a mentor, fellows delve into activities like policy development, evaluation, restoration planning, grants management, and stakeholder outreach and learn what it takes to make scientific information not just useful but useable. Meanwhile, host offices get a talented technical expert with a fresh perspective and a new network of contacts across the Gulf of Mexico region.

Location: U.S. Gulf of Mexico region: Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas

Fellowship Benefits

Stipend

Fellows who have completed an MA, MS, or MPH/MSPH degree or who are currently enrolled in a doctoral program will receive an annual stipend of $55,000.
